moonv6 post from Michael Surkan <msurkan@windows.microsoft.com> Yes, we have added NETSH support for IPv6 tunnels back into Vista (as in XP). You should be able to use this feature in build 5744, which has been released to the beta program. I would love to hear how well this works from anyone who tries it out.

Cheers,
Michael Surkan
Program Manager, Microsoft

Thanks for the followup Jeroen.
It turns out support for proto-41 may finally make it in Vista. We received a notice from Michael Surkan, Program Manager at MS, saying it should be in last week's build. Michael, maybe you could confirm this.

Thanks,
Jean-Francois Tremblay
Research Engineer, Hexago
